My first show was a natty organization the NGA and used Dream tan. When I switched over to the NPC both shows I did didn't allow it and just paid for spray tanning.Originally Posted by juwabo15

I've only done the spray tan with the sponsoring tan company of my events but I've been meaning to give self-tanning a shot, my coach is big on Jan Tana products

Ive done it a few ways. My best advice is whatever you end up choosing, try to do a test run before your show date.
Comp number 1: I used Pro Tan, took forever to dry, had to do multiple coats, didn't come out at even as I had wished, turned me green.
Comp number 2: Got a spray tan, turned green, to the point where people were calling me baby hulk and not because I'm jacked. At the night show, used an Italian version of dream tan, great color but hella messy, gets everywhere even when you are trying to be careful. Created stress because I was super worried about touching anything and transferring color, didn't want to pay for damages to the venue.
Comp number 3: Did liguid sun rayz. At the time they only had the liquid, and that was hands down the best color and self application. Came out much smoother and even and only needed one coat on my pale self. Didn't turn green.
I currently have the liquid sun rayz mousse in their :everday: color so I can test out the application of the mousse without looking crazy dark.
By far the spray tan was the easiest application, then LSR and then dream tan. However, different shows may have different rules, some have banned dream tan because of the mess. Some orgs only let you get tanned by their sponsors (WBFF). So check with your org/show first and then the rest if up to personal preference.www.bikinisandbiceps.com
